Emma Smith: An Elect Lady reveals the story of an extraordinary woman who lived in a trying time. As the wife of Joseph Smith, the first Latter-day Saint Prophet, Emma knew much of religious bigotry, vexatious lawsuites, and lawless brutality. She comforted Joseph in his extremities, bore his children, and wrote of her abiding love for him. Yet, as time passed and Joseph was murdered, Emma struggled to find her place. Her life story, unique from beginning to end, is presented here in a quetion and answer format to supply readers with easy access to her biographical information and increased understanding of the trials and triumphs of this remarkable woman.

Revered as "an elect lady" and denounced as a "damned liar," Emma Hale Smith had a life full of contradictions- trials and triumphs, sorrows and strength, fears and faith. Raised in a well-respected family, she gave up everything to marry a poor, uneducated farm boy. Her unwavering support of the Prophet Joseph through intense persecution and suffering is legendary, and although she lived in relative comfort and security in her later years. Emma's life continued to be laced with tragedy and heartache. This well-documented narrative provides a personal glimpse into the life of a woman who remains one of the most mysterious and misunderstood women in LDS Church history today. With beautiful full-color illustrations by renowned artist Liz Lemon Swindle, the story is told using many first-person accounts. Readers will gain valuable insights into the remarkable life and character of Emma Hale Smith.

Emma Smith lived in Nauvoo, Illinois, for nearly forty years. This unique documentary history allows the reader to experience the life of Emma and her family after her husband's martyrdom - as viewed through the eyes of her neighbors and associates. In the years following the Saints' exodus, Mormonism's "Elect Lady" earned the universal love and respect of her new "Gentile" neighbors. Emma's Nauvoo is a rich compilation of contemporary letters, interviews and newspaper accounts that narrate the many roles Emma assumed. Not only was she mother of an American religious tradition, she was mother to four boys and an adopted daughter. She became wife of a second husband, Major Lewis Bidamon, from 1847 to 1879. She was the proprietor of the Nauvoo Mansion boarding house and a charitable member of the Nauvoo community.

Rising Hills and Sinking Valleys by Kimberly Jo Smith "Powerful," "Moving," "Insightful." What were the real reasons that kept Emma Smith from migrating West with the main body of the Saints after her husband was murdered? What became of the children and why was Joseph's posterity estranged from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for so many generations? One descendant, and convert to the LDS Church, shares her story, opening the door of understanding that has been lacking since 1844. Born in Maryville Tennessee in 1962, to Joseph and Sue Smith, Kimberly Jo Smith did not learn until age 12 that she had a great-great grand father named Joseph Smith, Jr. who built a church. That revelation set Kimberly on a journey that would reveal to her an ancestry she had never known and a family that had been sorely broken. Kimberly Jo Smith uses her love of writing music and stories to expound upon the importance of family and in helping to bridge the inter-generational chasm formed between the Smith posterity and the millions of Latter-day Saints who hold her ancestor in grateful honor. Reviews: "A remarkably honest and forthright look into the heart and soul of her ancestors, the Prophet Joseph Smith and his wife Emma... a recipe for overcoming an obstacle that might stand in the way of strengthening ties of love with the human family." -- Gracia M. Jones cousin, friend and author of Emma and Joseph: Their Divine Mission "This book is the first opportunity that the majority of LDS Church members will have to understand the family over which Emma presided after Joseph's death." -- Legrand Baker author of Murder of the Mormon Prophet

As a whirlwind of memory, loss, and confusion leaves them wondering how either one will be able to move forward. Through the long night, Jane wonders if the Prophet's promise to extend the blessings

Beginning in the 1830s, at least thirty-three women married Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism. These were passionate relationships which also had some longevity, except in cases such as that of two young sisters, one of whom was discovered by Joseph’s first wife, Emma, in a locked bedroom with the prophet. Emma remained a steadfast opponent of polygamy throughout her life. The majority of Smith’s wives were younger than he, and one-third were between fourteen and twenty years of age. Another third were already married, and some of the husbands served as witnesses at their own wife’s polyandrous wedding. In addition, some of the wives hinted that they bore Smith children—most notably Sylvia Sessions’s daughter Josephine—although the children carried their stepfather’s surname. For all of Smith’s wives, the experience of being secretly married was socially isolating, emotionally draining, and sexually frustrating. Despite the spiritual and temporal benefits, which they acknowledged, they found their faith tested to the limit of its endurance. After Smith’s death in 1844, their lives became even more “lonely and desolate.” One even joined a convent. The majority were appropriated by Smith’s successors, based on the Old Testament law of the Levirate, and had children by them, though they considered these guardianships unsatisfying. Others stayed in the Midwest and remarried, while one moved to California. But all considered their lives unhappy, except for the joy they found in their children and grandchildren.  

Joseph Smith III was the eldest surviving son of Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, and Emma Hale Smith. Joseph Smith III was the Prophet-President of what became known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, now called Community of Christ, which considers itself a continuation of the church established by Smith's father in 1830. For fifty-four years until his own death, Smith presided over the church. Smith's moderate ideas and nature set much of the tone for the church's development, earning him the sobriquet of "the pragmatic prophet".

Music is the handmaiden of religion. Since the days of Martin Luther, congregational singing of hymns has been the most important music in the Church. In our own time the Lord gave a direct commandment to the Prophet for his wife, Emma Smith, which reads, in part, as follows: \"And it shall be given thee... to make a selection of sacred hymns... to be had in my church. \"For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads.\" (Doctrine and Covenants 25:11-12.). Thus the first hymnbook of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was compiled by Emma Smith, under the inspiration of the Lord. From that time to the present, hymnbooks have been carefully compiled to encourage congregational singing in the Church. Few people are so qualified to write Stories of Our Mormon Hymns as J. Spencer Cornwall, who has written Fundamentals of Conducting, A Century of Singing (a history of the Tabernacle Choir), twenty anthems, and the arrangement of three operas. To be acquainted with the stories of the hymns, the biographies of the authors and the composers, as well as to know pertinent facts on the music, adds greatly to our appreciation. To this end Elder Cornwall has compiled stories concerning the more than three hundred hymns in Stories of Our Mormon Hymns. An earlier work by Elder George D. Pyper, now out of print, has been, by permission, incorporated into this book.
